Where Are Bats Coming From?

The first thing American Animal Control does is to prevent bats coming into your house. In order to do that we first find out where the bats are coming in from. Usually bats will come into a house or a building through the highest available entry point, although in some occasions when they get lost, they will use a door or window. Even though bat’s wings can be long, they are actually small and can fit through very small spaces. If you have a hole on the side of your home that is two-thirds of an inch, that may be enough for a small bat to get through.

You Need To Get All Bats Out Of Your House!

While it is helpful to have bats in the neighborhood, you do not want them inside your house even, in a room that you do not go into, like the attic. According to the CDC, there are a few diseases that bats can give to people. A disease which bats carry is histoplasmosis which can be transmitted when fungi grow on the guano or bat poop. The symptoms of histoplasmosis can vary from person to person but people with a weakened immune system are at a higher risk. The other disease that everyone knows is rabies. Bats can transmit rabies with exposure to a human through a bite from a rabid animal. If the animal’s saliva comes into contact with human mouths, nose, eyes or a fresh wound, it can also be transmitted.

If you are having problems with bats in your house, bats in your attic, or bats scratching in your walls, you’re not alone. Thousands of homeowners find bats in their houses each year. Bats most of the time will generally enter a house from a construction opening on the roof of the house. ®American Animal Control, LLC receives hundreds of calls each year from homeowners that have bats in the house. Bats living in the attic of a house are very temperature sensitive and when the attic of a house becomes really hot, or really cold bats will push down the walls.

Most customers that call with a bat flying in the house will assume that the bat came down the chimney and then into the house. In all the years our licensed bat removal specialists have removed bats in the house, very rarely do we find that the bats in the house actually entered from the chimney. There are several occasions when we have found that once a bat is in the house it will gravitate to the fireplace because it will feel a draft that is pulling air from the house and up the chimney. Almost always bats that are in the house have entered through the attic. We receive calls from homeowners that have only ever had one bat in the house, and others that have had bats in the house for many years. If you have bats in your house don’t let the problem go on for years! There are many health issues related to having bats in the house. One is histoplasmosis. This is a fungus that can get into your lungs from the bat guano in the attic or walls.
